Day 32 of Round 2

Thursday October 29thStarting weight: 268Today's weight: 242.5

Beef.

There's a little deli on Lakeside Avenue at Leschi Park that has organic meats for a lot less expensive than Whole Foods, PCC or Trader Joe's. Also, they'll grind beef for you at leanest possible, which is important for Phase 2 of the HCG VLCD.

For the last couple days I'd been stalled at 244.5, very annoying. But on Monday I ordered three pounds of beef, which was ready yesterday, so I made 4 oz patties out of it and fried them up (no oil) in a pan. They were delicious with some tomato, lettuce, onion, and pickle.

They say that beef can either break a stall or start one. It broke mine, as far as I can tell, but stalled K.

This morning I weighed myself at 243 before the shower, and 242.5 after. Fantastic. I'm 2.5 pounds away from my goal (though looking at 240, I see a lot of excess weight around my midsection that will necessitate another round next January). I have a little less than a week to go, and barring further stalls it should happen.

It'd be nice to hit 239 if possible, that'd be 70 total pounds in two rounds. Hell I'll round up if anyone asks. :)

About Me

Is there harm in HCG? Does it work? A non-scientific attempt from an overweight, always hungry, big eater.
Links on this blog go to both positive and negative arguments on HCG.
The main question I want to answer: Does HCG control hunger? Will I be able to eat 500 calories (down from an average of 3000/day) without feeling starving or ravenous, and without ingesting any other kind of appetite suppressant?
If the answer to that question is yes, I will consider the HCG protocol a success.
